Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is a moderately vigorous tree with an upright, spreading crown. The variety possesses good resistance to scab and fire blight. It is self-sterile and requires pollinator varieties that bloom at the same time.

Fruits are medium-sized, slightly conical in shape, with greenish-yellow skin almost entirely covered by a dark red blush. The flesh is firm, crisp, juicy, and white or cream-white in color. The taste is sweet with a tart note. Maturity group is late: late September — early October.

The fruits are of universal use: suitable for fresh consumption, culinary purposes, and cider production. Under cold storage conditions, the fruits retain their qualities for up to three months.
